HOLLYWOOD Two sources of
current wonder to the film colony are
the box office appeal of child fctars
and the unfailing revenue derived
from westerns even in these sophis
ticated days.
Hollywood's flair for super-spectacles
and lavishly mounted films
with star-studded casts have given
producers many a headache while the
past year has bror.grit them more than
one pleasant surprise when they read
the returns on some '"horse opera" or
B-picture such as Deanna Durbin's
"Three Smart Girls."
True, there are even now in pro
duction several prodigiously-scaled
films with budgets running $2,000,
000 of more. But the profits on these
will probably be ess, proportionate
ly, than on some of the "quickies"
which are turned out by the dozen.
Deanna Durbin a Sensation
Some conception of the money
poured into movie productions can be
gained by making a tour of the lots
today. "In Old Chicago," a scmi-his-torical
romance, more than half a mil
lion is being spent on one scene alone,
the one in which a huge set, four
acres in size, is destroyed during a
conflagration designed to represent
the Chicago fire. Tho finale alone in
"Broadway Melody of 103S," starring j
Eleanor Powell and Robert Tuylor,
added nearly $250,000 to the produc
tion expense because of the lavish set
and gorgeous costuming. No expense
was spared in the climatic scene of
"Hurricane" in which the reproduc
tion of a native village is destroyed
in a terrific windstorm, a thrill for
movie, fans but a chill for studio ac-i
mittee stated that the .firemen had
approved of a plan for accident in
surance as they felt that the com
pensation paid under the present plan
was inadequate in case a mjpi was
injured and unable to carry on his
daily tasks. The department had re
ceived and approved a plan submitted
by W. E. Renish of Omaha, whereby
the city could pay $75 and. the depart.
ment $75 for the insurance to cover!
the members in case of accidents.
This policy allowed a minimum of
?2,000 for death and 20 a week for
accident disability. This policy was
by the Massachusetts Bonding and
Insurance Co.
On motion of Councilman Webb
this was referred to the fire and wa
ter committee and a committee of
the firemen to arrange the details and
if satisfactory make the contract, the
funds to be taken from the fire de
partment funds.
City Attorney J. H. Davis reported
that he had contacted the owners of
Buck Jones
countants who added $500,000 to the
picture's budget for the item.
Yet some of the smaller independ
ent studios, such as Republic, are
making money with a small outlay.
And their success i3 due in great
measure to the undiminishing de
mand for westerns. Gene Autry is
one of the leading horse opera stars
today. Buck Jones, George O'Brien
and others have carried the torch
for William S. Hart and Tom Mix in
a manner profitable both to them
selves and their studios.
But possibly the outstanding tri
umph of the cinema world has been
lhat of Deanna Durbin, the "child
wonder." In two pictures. "Three
Smart Girls" and "100 Men and a
Girl" she has lifted her company
from near-bankruptcy to a point
where it is now on its feet again.
Westerns Still Click
Nor is she alone among the con
sistent child star money-makers.
Shirley Temple, of course, continues
to pack them in. Freddie Bartholo
mew addad to his laurels with "Cap
tains Courageous," and Sybil Jason,
Jane Withers. Bobby Breeu and oth
er youngsters are blazing a golden
trail across the cinema heavens.
Hal Roach, one of the shrewder
veterans of the picture game, ia an
other who is capitalizing on the popu
larity of juvenile starrand receiv
ing a tidy return for his numerous
"Our Gang'-' comedies.
To be sure, prestige and renown
accrue to those companies who ven
ture hundreds of thousands in super
spectacles, but even they would trade
a bit of their prestige to have a child
star or western hero who could turn
red into black w'hen they view the
balance sheet.

Sixth street and thought that all
could get together and the district

ing. The Green River Ordinance
Ordinance No. 728, better known
as the "Green River" ordinance, regu
lating the peddling, distribution of
bills, solicitation of orders and sales
from house to house, was brought up
for the third reading and final action.
Councilman Brittain objected to
the ordinance on the grounds that it
interfered with the right of the citi
zens to purchase where they pleased.
Councilman Rebal amended the or
dinance so that the penalty was
placed at from $1 to $100 for vio
lation instead of $25 to $100 as was
first given.
A petition signed by 500 residents
of the city was presented and which
asked that the ordinance be not pass
ed. un the roll call for final passage
Councilman Webb stated he wished
to explain his vote. The ordinance
did not tell anyone where to buy, it
did not prevent those wishing sales
men and solicitors to call having this
done by means of invitation or sanc
tion cf their visits. It also protect
ed those who did not wish to be both
ered by the bill distributors or so
licitors. The vote on the ordinance was as
follows:
AYE Webb, Puis, Tippens, Rebal,
Comstock, Schutz, Yroman, Vincent.
NO Hall, Brittain. '
Clearing Up Real Estate
The tax and property committee
presented -a bid from W. M. Bar
clay, for the purchase of some tax
title lots adjoining his property on
South Fifth street. By resolution this
sale was authorized.
The tax aud property committee
also presented a resolution author
izing the foreclosure on some thirty
six properties against which the city
holds certificates, this being neces
sary to protect the city's interest in
the matter.
Tell of Convention
The members of the council had a
very fine outline of the recent con
vention of the League of Nebraska
Municipalities which was held in
Omaha.
Councilman E. A. Webb, who had
been a speaker at two groups of the
convention on the tax problems of
the cities. City Attorney J. Howard
Davis and Mayor George Luskinsky,
all had a part in the description of
the convention and its work. There
were a great many matters of werth
while consideration and the Platts
mouth delegation had gained a great
deal of knowledge in the problems of
the various municipalities and many

ing dried up to such an extent that
it was necessary to sink the new
well.

was able to return home last Sun
day. While there he underwent a
very successful operation for hemor
rhoids, which had been giving him
much trouble of late.
Water Supply Low
The wells at the Caygill farm near
Wabash, where Fred Weyers resides,
have dried up to such an extent that
there is not enough water for the
stock and household - use. Mr. Cay
gill was over from his home near
Elmwood and assisted Mr. Weyers
with the task of sinking the well to
a deeper level in the hope of locat
ing a more abundant supply.
Buys Horses in West
Amzi McBride, of Beaver Cross
ing, a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
McBride, who has been farming near
that town, found a team which he
considered as being well worth the
money, and as the father W. H.
McBride had lost some of his, he
advised the father, who instructed
him to purchase the team and had
Frank Marshall drive out with his
truck for the horses. Amzi reports
crops all burned out in that part of
the country. He has placed what
corn he had in a silo to provide food
for livestock during the winter, and,
having completed sowing his winter
wheat, finds little to do just now.

arm amputated some time ago as a
result of injuries sustained in a fall
from the haymow, had to be taken
back to the hospital just recently for
a second operation, removing some
two inches more of the bone, as it
was affected. He had recovered nice
ly from his prior operation and had
been attending school, but it was
found advisable to remove the addi
tional bone to guard against spread
of the infection. His stay at the hos
pital this time was limited to over
night, and since his return home he
is getting along nicely with pros
pects good that the arm will heal
in satisfactory manner this time.
STUDENT LFVES IN HAND
BUILT PORTABLE HUT
LAWRENCE. Kas. (UP) Ralph
Reber, 19-year-old farm youth, has
built a one-room portable house near
the University of Kansas campus to
live in while he is completing his col
lege work.
The structure cost $60.
Reber did not have enough money
to live in a fraternity house while at
school and it cost too much to board
at a private house. So he conceived
the idea of building a hut near two
of the largest fraternity houses.
The house is 7 by 14 feet and large
enough to accommodate two oc
cupants. Reber plans to get a room
mate. There are two folding bunks
in the structure, a study desk, an oil
stove and electric lights.
Reber was graduated from the
Whitmorc, Kas., high school last year
and worked on a farm and for a rail
road during the summer. He earned
$90.
If the youth decides to change
schools, all he has to do is jack up
the house, slip some wheel3 under
it and it becomes a trailer.
